Objective: To verify the correlation between the balance deficit and motor impairment in functional activities of patients with chronic hemiparesis after stroke. Methods: 24 patients with chronic hemiparesis after stroke were selected and evaluated by Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA).Results: BBS showed moderate correlation with FIM (r= 0.6457, p= 0.0007), balance section (r= 0.5070, p= 0.0114) and lower limb section of FMA (r= 0.5728, p= 0.0034) and DGI (r= 0.6453, p= 0.0007). The FIM also showed moderate correlation with DGI (r= 0.5449, p= 0.0059) and balance section of FMA (r=0.6107, p=0.0015). However, a weak correlation was observed between the FIM and lower limb section of FMA (r= 0.1515, p= 0.4797). Conclusion: The balance deficit correlated with the functional independence level in chronic hemiparesis. Nevertheless, there was no correlation between the motor impairment and functional independence.
